Maris didn't even looked at who was that young man and went away. If she had stayed and then she would et the wandering swordsman who was one of the male leads but since she didn't stayed, she missed it.
Even if she had t this wandering swordsman, she wouldn't talked to him, so it's didn't make much of difference if she stayed or not.
Maris went back to her grand temple, thinking of Lucan, wanting to et him.
---
After the break, in the staff room of the Royal Academy.
The martial arts tournant that was held in the royal capital had concluded, and Lucan had co to work as usual.
"By the way... were you surprised? Did you see the finals?"
The question ca from Xue Lan, a colleague with a relaxed expression.
"The semifinalist and favorite, Kiran, lost, and the final was between Alec and an unknown swordsman, you know?"
"Is that so? That's unexpected."
Lucan answered without showing much surprise. It wasn't surprising at all. It was the sa battle card as in the ga's scenario.
The final was between Alec and a samurai nad Murata.
"That's right! The swordsman who defeated Kiran was from another country and was incredibly strong! The battle with Alec was intense and amazing!"
"It must have been quite sothing. If it was such a great match, I should have gone to watch it."
Although he had thought about going to support at least the finals, he had forgotten due to the busy work and being caught up with Maris during the tournant.
In the ga, Maris goes to support and ends up caught between Alec and Murata, but she seed uninterested in this world.
"In the end, Alec won! I'm really glad a student from our academy won!"
"Indeed... It would have been quite embarrassing if a wandering swordsman had taken the victory."
"Mr. Grayson must be relieved too. He was really into the support."
Mr. Grayson, wanted the Royal Academy's students to win. He was probably the most anxious when Kiran lost to Murata in the semifinals.
"Anyway... From today, it's back to regular classes. The final exams are over, and soon it will be winter break. Lucan, do you have any plans for winter break?"
"Hmmm... Not really decided yet. I was thinking of going back to border town..." Lucan pondered, "Hmm." Even if he went back ho, there wasn't much to do.
He exchanged letters with the townspeople, but it seed the new priest was doing well, so there probably wouldn't be a place for him if he returned. Then there is winter break events.
Maris's winter break activities change depending on the progress of the routes with the characters.
If progressing in Kai's route, there will be an event where she travels abroad with Kai. In Alec's route, she trains in the snowy mountains. In Damain's route, she goes on a hot spring trip. In Ruki's route, she gets lost in a fairyland.
But she isn't progressing in those four routes. So it would common route.
"Excuse ."
The staff room door creaked open, and Maris appeared. She smiled when she saw Lucan and walked over.
"Good day, Lucan-sama."
"Oh, Maris. Is sothing the matter?"
"I have a small request... Do you have so ti?"
"Yes, that's fine..."
What could it be? Lucan tilted his head.
"Well then, Teacher Xue. I'll see you later."
"Yes, see you later."
After greeting Xue Lan, Lucan followed Maris out of the staff room.
Maris led Lucan to one of the empty classrooms.
Inside, a few female students were waiting. While Lucan didn't know all of them, they were classmates who were close to Maria.
"Sorry to trouble you, Teacher Lucan," one of the girls said apologetically.
"It's no trouble, Hina," Kurael replied.
The girl, who was taking theology classes, was nad Hina.
"I'm sorry too, Saint Maris. I made you go out of your way like this…"
"It's fine. I actually wanted to see Lucan-sama as well," Maris said softly, standing close to Lucan.
Maris and Hina were in the sa class and were often seen together.
"So, what's the matter today?" Lucan asked.
"To be honest... We're planning a trip together during the winter break," Hina said.
"A trip... I see."
Lucan nodded in understanding. It was typical for Maris to go on a trip with friends during the winter break if she wasn't progressing in any of the male routes.
In this route, Maris would go on a skiing trip with her friends.
"I see, a trip. That sounds nice. I hope you have a great ti."
"Yes, thank you... Actually, if it's alright, we'd like to ask you to accompany us as a guardian."
"...?"
Lucan tilted his head.
"It's an all-girls trip, right? Wouldn't it be better to ask a female teacher?"
"Uh, well... We tried, but we couldn't find anyone available."
"Teacher Lucan, if you have ti, could you please help us...?"
"Please!"
Lucan looked up with a hopeful expression, and the other girls bowed their heads in unison.
It was hard to refuse when Maris and the girls asked so earnestly.
Honestly, having a male teacher accompany four teenage girls on a trip would be quite an good thing, watching beautiful high school girls enjoying their trip sound good, and there is no police here to arrest him.
"...Alright." Lucan nodded.
"If no other female teacher is available by the ti winter break starts, I'll accompany you."
"Yay!"
Maris jumped up with joy as Lucan agreed.
"A trip with Lucan-sama! A skiing trip!"
"That's great, Saint Maris"
"We'll support you, Holy Maiden!"
Ignoring Lucan, the four girls erupted in excited cheers. The atmosphere among the teenage girls was so vibrant and impenetrable to adult n that Lucan felt completely out of place.
"Ugh..."
So does these girl know Maris secret crush on and now planing to do sothing on the trip? Well, whatever they are planning, I don't care as long we can have fun.
